Nagominoto Tower

Nagominoto Tower (なごみの塔) is a charming landmark located in the heart of Taketomi Island, offering scenic views of the surrounding village. Although climbing the 4.5-meter tower is currently prohibited, its elevated position on a hill places it about 10 meters above the traditional houses around it. From this height, the tower offers an excellent spot for photos and provides visitors with the opportunity to take in the serene island landscape below. Its gentle prominence serves as a peaceful reminder of the island’s tranquil beauty.

At the base of the tower, a small grassy area invites visitors to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The area is also home to several local shops and cozy restaurants where you can sample authentic Okinawan specialties. As a cultural symbol of the island’s heritage, Nagominoto Tower is an essential stop during a leisurely walk or bike ride around Taketomi. Whether you’re seeking a quiet retreat or a cultural experience, the tower and its surroundings offer a peaceful escape into the heart of island life.
